The Editor's Notepod, Sat., Dec. 3, 2011

Good news that the State Bond Commission is expected to consider and approve a nice $3.5 million chunk for remediation of the Meriden Hub acres. This will help its conversion, in due course, into a park and into a transportation hub.

Retired teacher Joe Boriello has been named a Chevalier of the French Legion of Honor, for his service during World War II in the liberation of France. The Meriden veteran will travel to the consulate in NYC next May for formal presentation.

Meriden police are reminding all shoppers in the city and elsewhere to exercise due care during excursions and after they return. It’s a matter of locking cars, of covering small, stealable items, of tearing up packaging discreetly.

Well, it seems as if modest cuts are to be expected by Meriden in the Maloney project as well. It will be good to trim stuff as long as basics aren’t affected.

Another local small business, Canelli’s Jewelry, will be closing in Wallingford, soon, depending upon inventory sales. We much regret the loss of this 94-year-old family concern.

Repair of a persistent cold-water leak at the Southington Public Library. There’s just no telling how these things persist – had how fine it is when they are ended.
